Amorphous dispersions of the Biclotymol antiseptic are obtained in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), for different drug loadings, by comilling at temperatures below the glass transition of both components. Characterization of ...

Both structural glasses and disordered crystals are known to exhibit anomalous thermal, vibrational, and acoustic properties at low temperatures or low energies, what is still a matter of lively debate. To shed light on ...

The chemical dealloying of Cu-Mg-Ca alloys in free corrosion conditions was investigated
for different alloy compositions and different leaching solutions. For some of the precursor alloys,
